dsh-typst-preview

Before this plugin, opening a .typ file in DSH meant a wall of plain text with no rendered output and no syntax highlighting, making Typst authoring feel like shooting in the dark. dsh-typst-preview embeds a live Typst preview directly into the native right sidebar, giving .typ files the same first-class treatment as built-in Markdown previews.

Three things stand out. First, the preview is driven by a local tinymist process over WebSocket, so it tracks edits on disk in real time whether you type them or the agent writes them. Second, the source view gets genuine syntax highlighting decoded from tinymist LSP semantic tokens, recognising headings, keywords, functions, math, and labels, all painted in DSHs own code-block palette for a look identical to Markdown fenced code. Third, both panels stay mounted independently: switching to source does not tear down the preview server, and pages are lazily rehydrated per tab to keep memory in check across multiple open files. No extra port is exposed, so it works equally well over localhost, a LAN address, or a tunnel.

Built for researchers and developers who author Typst papers, lecture notes, or technical documentation inside DSH. No more juggling a separate terminal window or pasting content into an online viewer: open the file and the sidebar becomes your full authoring and typesetting surface.
